Ducky In Her Play Bow
Today’s post comes under the heading of “Yes, I KNOW this,” but I think it also comes under the heading of “I can’t have too many reminders.”
When it comes to finding ways to improve our vibrational alignment so law of attraction will deliver pleasurable and wanted experiences into our lives, the methods and techniques are endless. We can (more…)
About five years ago, I met an elderly gentleman who, according to his wife, could fall asleep within one minute of closing his eyes. And he could do it in any situation. Since I often took a long time to fall asleep, I was intrigued and I asked him how he did it.
He told me he learned his “trick” when he was a soldier in World War II. Because sleep was imperative but sleeping conditions were abysmal, he had to find a way to get to sleep no matter what. He tried several things and finally discovered one that has worked for him to this day: When he closes his eyes, he puts all his concentration on relaxing his facial muscles. He consistently falls asleep within a minute of beginning the process. (more…)
I started writing right a few days ago. I’m writing my ideal life. To start, I dug out some old incomplete journals to use because I didn’t want to go out and buy new ones. I’m writing in these differently than the way I used to—recording my life as it unfolded. Now I’m recording my life as it exists in the Vortex, that place where all my desires are already reality. I’m writing the life of the identity I’m claiming for myself as a financially free, awesomely successful, and stunningly healthy woman.
In one of the journals I dug out for this purpose, I discovered a list of manifesting steps taped to the inside cover. The date on the cover was 1998.
When I saw this list, my stomach heaved, and the enthusiastic energy I’d summoned for this good-feeling project was sucked from me as if by a gigantic invisible Hoover®. On my list of steps, I’d written out the four things I wanted at the time: financial freedom, success as a regularly published author, a healthy and slender body, and a loving husband. Okay, so I’m one for four (I have the loving husband). Seriously, though. I’ve been after these same things for a dozen years, and truthfully, even longer than that. How depressing.
But wait ….. (more…)
Meet Terger. I think he might be a distant cousin of Tigger, the bouncy, happy fellow of Winnie the Pooh fame. Yes, Terger looks a little like a kangaroo, but he isn’t. He’s pure, upbeat, aligned energy, and he lives in the land of the Vortex.
I’ve known Terger for awhile, but I haven’t spent enough time with him lately. The other night, he and I had a chance to get reacquainted.
I lay in bed at the end of a day that had little going for it other than it was over. I was doing my best to revise the day, but my mind kept slipping back into a negative groove. I’d had so many negative thoughts during the day that it wasn’t surprising I kept having more. The law of attraction is consistently reliable. It will always bring you more thoughts that match your current thoughts until you deliberately reach for a better feeling thought. (more…)
I know the law of attraction is one of the energetic laws that bring order to the universe. I don’t believe it. I know it.
Even though I know it, however, I have doubts.
These doubts aren’t about the existence of the law of attraction. They’re about my understanding of how to think and feel in a way that makes the law of attraction a positive force in my life instead of a negative one.
The basics of law of attraction’s impact on us are simple:
1. Think thoughts that match up vibrationally with what you desire.
2. The better a thought feels to you, the better it matches up with things you want.
Simple … but at least for me, it’s the most difficult thing I’ve ever attempted to learn how to do. (more…)
Imagine a cute little toddler who is learning to walk. She’s gotten to a point where she can pull herself upright. She can take herky-jerky steps, those steps that always remind me of the lurching gate of the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man. She can careen a few feet before she plops on her adorable tush. She does this over and over, stumbling, tripping, falling, trying again.
Tell me, would you ever, in a million years, consider screaming at this sweet child, “Get up and RUN, damn you!”? Of course not.
But this is what we tend to do to ourselves when we’re learning a new skill.
Living in awareness of the law of attraction, using thought deliberately to align with desires, is a new skill. We weren’t taught how to do this when we were small and eager to learn (at least I wasn’t).
When it comes to focused thought, we are toddlers.
I’d forgotten that, and I was expecting of myself more than I could do.
This last weekend, I embraced my toddlerhood, and I feel so much better.
What do I mean? (more…)
Lately, I’ve had to turn this into a mantra: “The feeling, the feeling, the feeling. Focus on the feeling.”
When you’re finding reasons to feel good or looking for ways to feel like you already have what you want, either by using track changes or other visualizing methods, it’s ever so tempting to look for results.
We all love law of attraction results. We love to hear those stories about how someone thought about something incredible and got it. And of course, we all love to experience those results.
Almost daily, I remind myself that I manifested my husband. I like remembering that I have the ability to deliberately flow vibrational energy toward a specific result and have the result appear in my life.
I’m discovering, however, because of a spate of unpleasant events recently, that too much focus on results can knock you off the alignment track. (more…)
Many years ago, I dated a man who was chronically late. And I don’t mean just a little late. He lived in Seattle, and when he’d come to my home for a visit, he usually arrived one to two hours later than he said he would.
I wasn’t all that pleased about this, and I told him so. I was especially annoyed when he offered up excuses like, “I had to clean my vegetable bin before I left.”
In response to my displeasure, my soon to be ex-boyfriend, gave me the book, Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff, by Richard Carlson. Over 100 weeks on the bestseller’s list, this little volume was full of great, down-to-earth advice on how to let go of the little stresses of life, but it didn’t make me feel any better about my boyfriend’s tardiness.
The message I got from the book and from my boyfriend was, “Don’t do anything about the little annoyances of life. The small stuff doesn’t matter.”
In some respects, this is a good message, one that helps with alignment. Certainly, complaining and noticing all the little things that are “wrong” in the world don’t activate a vibration that draws wonderful experiences into our lives. But making ourselves be okay with all the little stuff that we don’t like isn’t the way to go about aligning. It’s the smiley face vs. the rodeo clown. Trying to convince yourself that you feel good about something you don’t feel good about is a waste of time. (more…)
I love watching the law of attraction in action. I’ve been thinking a lot in the last couple weeks about decisions I need to make. So what have I received? Several e-mails from people who are making decisions and want my input.
I appreciate those e-mails. Answering those e-mails was just what I needed to make my own decisions. Every time I answered one of those e-mails, I was reminded of the foolproof two-step way of making great decisions. (more…)
Muggins
In the months preceding my 17-year old dog, Muggins’ death in October last year, I had been spending a half hour or so each day free dancing to music on my mp3 player. I loved that half hour. It didn’t feel like exercise. It felt like play.
The day after Muggins died, I got up before 5 a.m. because I couldn’t sleep. I knew she’d moved on to joyful nonphysical energy but I ached from the loss of her physical presence. It just plain hurt.
Reaching for better feelings when I got out of bed, I put on my earphones and danced. And I cried.
I was used to having Muggins around while I danced. In fact, I usually danced in whatever room she was in; during her last months, we had to keep a close eye on her because she’d get disoriented and wander into corners and get stuck. Dancing alone in the too still house made my ache even deeper.
But I kept dancing. I thought it would shift my vibration. (more…)
